Sustainable skincare brand SBTRCT has announced the launch of its new Daily Body Cleanse, which is inspired by the Japanese ritual of forest bathing.  

The cleanse features a no-soap formula that cleanses, moisturises and hydrates the body with a unique and aromatic blend of coconut and rosehip seed oil. It lathers into a rich, moisturising foam that leaves skin feeling soft and supple.  

Designed to be a relaxing and spiritual fragrance experience, the cleanse boasts a true forest aroma with top notes of pine needles, warmed by a heart of frankincense and labdanum with base notes of smooth cedar wood, balsam and patchouli.  

Ben Grace, founder of SBTRCT, says: “Research shows that forest bathing has a mind healing effect, with countries such as Japan prescribing it to treat depression and anxiety. This is partly down to the unique scent of the forest which, among its many benefits, has been shown to decrease stress hormones and supports the immune system. Studies have shown that even without a trip to the forest, the fragrance of tree essential oils can have similar psychological effects. We know that mind and skin health are closely connected, and it’s this synergy that has inspired our new Daily Body Cleanse.” 

The Daily Body Cleanse is available now at www.sbtrct.co.uk, £14 RRP.
